Buckles

Every woman should have at least one pair of strappy stiletto sandals in every basic color (like black, white, red, nude) because a strappy sandal makes a woman’s feet look instantly sexy. It sure isn’t easy walking around in high stiletto heels without looking like a squint-eyed, drunk stork, but once you have the hang of it, you’ll agree that it very well is worth the effort and pain. The Jimmy Choo sandals below would be a great investment if you are looking for high quality shoes.

Steve Madden SELLENA Strappy Sandals

Steve Madden’s Jimmy Choo Atlas interpretation is my favorite in terms of price & look. The strappy sandals come very close to the original Choos not only in shape, but also color. If you want a rather classic color, you can purchase them in black as well.

Carlos By Carlos Santana Candy Sandal

I’m not so fond of the snakeskin print of these Jimmy Choo knockoffs by Carlos Santana, but the shape is almost identical, so I thought I’d mention them.

Miss Me Garnet Strappy Sandal

Another great knockoff alternative, although not available in a taupe or nude color, comes from Miss Me. The strappy sandals can be purchased for around $40 in either black, red, teal or fuchsia.

There is such a thing as the perfect pair of summer stilettos and I believe Azzedine Alaïa created them. Look at these darlings below: wouldn’t they look perfect with a yellow sundress or white capri pants? They used to retail for approx. $1.000 at Browns, but it seems like they have sold out recently.

Celebrities Love Azzedine Alaïa

Azzedine Alaïa is loved by the celebrity world, so it’s no surprise to see female celebrities flaunting his designs on a regular basis. Charlize Theron for example looks chic wearing her black Alaïa sandals with a black tunic dress while Katie Holmes took a more casual approach by pairing her tan version (my personal favorite!) with a plaid blouse and cuffed boyfriend jeans. Celine Dion went the sexy route and sexed up her silver metallic Alaïa heels with a micro mini pink Balmain dress.

Boutique 9 Vivacity Sandals

These Azzedine Alaïa knockoffs from Boutique 9 are pretty much spot on except for the heel which is a bit thicker and not quite as high as on the originals. However, they also retail for a lot, lot less, being currently marked down from $155 to $89.99. Also available in black leather.

Moul Style Gladiator Sandals

UPDATE #1: Just found another pair of Azzedine Alaïa gladiator sandal knockoffs which you can buy from YesStyle. The heel is thicker, but other than that they have the same look and feel as the Alaia sandals. Sorry for the crappy pic, you can see the shoes from other angles on YesStyle’s website.

I was lusting after these badass buckled Louboutins ever since I saw them on Heidi’s feet a few months ago. But spending 1.5k on a pair of shoes is nothing but a dream to me yet, so I raided the internet to find some budget-friendly alternatives.

Celebrities wearing Christian Louboutin

Heidi Klum was the first to introduce the buckled Louboutins on the red carpet when she wore them with a cute strapless vintage dress to this year’s Golden Globes. Jennifer Lopez wore the same heels with an LWD, sleek hair and a matching white clutch.
